I think blacking them out will take away the nice detailed curve that the 230's have. I personally wouldnt do it but if your going to..have them powdercoated. A light gunmetal would look nice on the 230's.

you're right it prob would take away the curve. the rims already look amazing for oem rims. their so big! i was just thinking about shadowline trim kit, blacked out tail lights, black kidney grill , and some black rims-- would look badass as other members have posted. but im not paying for new rims . it already looks pretty damn good.

get black and white roundels also, that would be hot. and leave the rims stock for that hot contrast.
